ISHPEMING - Former professional baseball catcher and manager Yogi Berra once said "it ain't over until it's over."

The Munising High School boys basketball team proved him right Thursday night, rallying for a 53-50 non-conference win in overtime over host Ishpeming.

Coach Dan Waterman's Mustangs trailed the Hematites 46-31 early in the fourth quarter, but behind eight points by Gage Webster, the Mustangs outscored Ishpeming 17-2 the rest of the way to force an extra four minutes of play.

After the Hematites opened overtime with a bucket by Alex Briones, the Mustangs' Garrett Blank buried a 3-point shot and Webster sank two free throws with 13.5 seconds left to gain the win.
